1006 – OF Sounds Like UH – Speak Naturally in a Minute | Happy English

Watch video versions of the Happy English Podcast on YouTube: Here

Today, let’s talk about another tiny word that changes in natural American English: OF

In everyday conversation, OF usually reduces to a quick “uh” sound. The “v” sound is dropped and you’re left with the vowel sound, UH

• a cup of coffee becomes a cup uh coffee
• a lot of people becomes a lotta people
• kind of strange becomes kinda strange

You can also say things like: a piece uh cake. a bunch uh flowers. a bottle uh water

Now, you’re speaking like a native!
